RGB to multichannel to CMYK (and back) from the Course Photoshop CS3 Channels and Masks: The Essentials All right, so in the previous exercise I introduced you to the Multichannel mode which allows you to switch from one color model to another color model without running any conversions. The only question is why in the world would you want to do such a thing. Why would you want to switch from RGB to a taped CMYK image or even worse to just a bizarre looking Lab image and the answer is you wouldn't. That's why I've crafted these next two lessons, this lesson and the next one is to give you a sense of a couple of practical applications from Multichannel, just to expand your mind, to inspire your creativity. In this exercise we're going to go from RGB to Multichannel, to CMYK and then back to RGB in order to create an interesting color effect and then in the next exercise we'll go from CMYK to Multichannel, to RGB in order to create an intense highsaturation affect. And this is, of course, the original unmodified version of the image. Now you can't tell, but it's filled with cyan.
Save Yourself Hours - The Most Effective Way To Clean Backgrounds In Photoshop If you’ve shot in any studio, then you know the rules. Larger studios may require the use of protective booties on a freshly painted cyc wall or some practice the unsaid "no shoes" rule when stepping onto background paper. But, unfortunately, that just doesn’t happen and if the subject is jumping or moving look after look that background is going to get dirty. In my opinion, it’s probably one of the more annoying aspects of studio fashion re-touching, especially if you’re shooting on white seamless paper. Create A New Layer. Add Median Noise. Create A Layer Mask. Paint On The Median Blur. Add Noise. I've never claimed to be a fantastic re-toucher, I just share from experience and always try to pay the knowledge forward.
photomonth - East London Photography Festival Derren Brown - 7 - 29 November 2014 | RebeccaHossack The Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery presents an exciting exhibition from an illusionist who has turned away from the paranormal to explore and celebrate the richness of the everyday. After a two-year break, Derren Brown has created a new series of portraits in his unmistakable style. Many aspects of his work are driven by a delight in facsimile, the fake masquerading as the truth. Accompanying his new work will be a selection of earlier portraits, and, for the first time, a collection of his street photography. These themes of public and private self, of togetherness and separation, form a backbone to an exhibition of extraordinary and touching images.
Intimate, Painterly Photographs of London Bus Passengers On Their Nighttime Commute Photographer Nick Turpin‘s series Through a Glass Darkly takes a different approach to candid street photography than we typically see. Turpin captures London bus commuters on their way home after a long day, and his photographs are at once artistically compelling and potentially controversial. Is this voyeurism? Is it street photography? Exhaustion is often the least of the emotions writ on many of the subjects’ faces; we see glimpses of hopes, dreams, frustrations, and fears staring at us through the fogged up glass of the bus window, and we don’t know if we’re being allowed into this moment or taking it by force. “Most of my work takes a Street Photographers approach because I’m interested in recording the way that we live and making as close to a document as photography is capable of,” Turpin told us when we reached out to him. That much is obvious. Gear-wise, Turpin uses a Canon DSLR with a 70-200mm lens and the benefits of image stabilization.
How To Invoice Photography Clients For Your Time Last week, we took a look at how much should photographers charge per hour. The next step is to explore how to actually invoice photography clients. In this article, I will explain three billing methods commonly used in the photography industry: Time Plus Cost, Lump Sum and Upset Limit – and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each. It might not seem important at first, but how you invoice photography clients can have a big impact on the success of a job, and your profit margin. Know Your Hourly Rate – Time Is Money! Before we get started, you have to know how much your time is worth. In the article “How Much Should Photographers Charge Per Hour”, we calculated that good practice for photographers is to bill clients at minimum three to four times what they expect to take home as pay, per hour. For example, if you would like to earn $60,000 per year (or $30 per hour) take home pay, you would bill your photography clients at minimum $90 to $120 per hour. Billing for Usage or Products
